Bam Kazam

Bam Kazam at the Talking Stick Way location in Scottsdale is a distinct entry in the East Valley entertainment landscape because it pairs traditional amusement center fun with escape rooms — making it one of the few places where both a 7-year-old and a 14-year-old in the same family can find something genuinely exciting.

The amusement center side covers the expected bases: arcade games, physical activities, and attractions that keep kids moving. The escape room component is where Bam Kazam differentiates itself. Escape rooms for families and kids give older children a mental challenge that pure trampoline parks can't offer.

Parents who've tried to drag reluctant tweens to yet another jump park will appreciate having a venue where the 12-year-old is actually enthusiastic.

With 1,268 Google reviews at 4.7 stars, it's clearly doing something right. The Scottsdale location is well-positioned near Talking Stick Way, making it accessible from the Old Town area and northern Scottsdale.

For families: the amusement center is accessible for ages 6 and up, but the escape rooms have minimum age recommendations (typically 8–10 depending on the specific room). Booking escape room slots in advance is essential — they sell out.

Nearby dining options are excellent given the Talking Stick/Scottsdale Quarter vicinity. The combination of food options and Bam Kazam's activity range makes it a natural full-evening outing for families with school-age children.
